SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Machine Inspection

• Before machine operation, perform inspections and
functional checks. Refer to Section 2 of this manual for
detailed instructions.

• Do not operate this machine until it has been serviced
and maintained according to requirements specified in
the Service and Maintenance Manual.

• Be sure all safety devices are operating properly. Modi­fication of these devices is a safety violation.

• Do not operate any machine on which safety or
instruction placards or decals are missing or illegible.

• Avoid any buildup of debris on the platform floor. Keep
mud, oil, grease, and other slippery substances from
footwear and platform floor.

1.3 OPERATION

General

• Do not use the machine for any purpose other than
positioning personnel, their tools, and equipment.

• Never operate a machine that is not working properly.
If a malfunctions occurs, shut down the machine.

• Never slam a control switch or lever through neutral to
an opposite direction. Always return switch to neutral
and stop before moving the switch to the next function.
Operate controls with slow and even pressure.

• Hydraulic cylinders should never be left fully extended
or fully retracted before shutdown or for long periods of
time.

• Do not allow personnel to tamper with or operate the
machine from the ground with personnel in the plat­form, except in an emergency.

• Do not carry materials directly on platform railing
unless approved by JLG.

• When two or more persons are in the platform, the
operator shall be responsible for all machine opera­tions.

• Always ensure that power tools are properly stowed
and never left hanging by their cord from the platform
work area.

• Supplies or tools which extend outside the platform are
prohibited unless approved by JLG.

• Do not assist a stuck or disabled machine by pushing,
pulling, or by using machine functions. Only pull the
unit from the tie-down lugs on the chassis.

• Stow elevating assembly and shut off all power before
leaving machine.

Trip and Fall Hazards

• When operating a boom lift, occupants in the platform
must wear a full body harness with a lanyard attached
to an authorized lanyard anchorage point. When oper­ating a scissor lift or vertical mast lift, JLG recommends
wearing a full body harness. Attach only one (1) lan­yard per lanyard anchorage point.

• Before operating the machine, make sure all gates are
closed and fastened or in their proper position.

• Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at
all times. Never use ladders, boxes, steps, planks, or
similar items on platform to provide additional reach.

• Never use the elevating assembly to enter or leave the
platform.

• Use extreme caution when entering or leaving plat­form. Be sure that the platform is fully lowered. Face
the machine, maintain “three point contact” with the
machine, using two hands and one foot or two feet and
one hand during entry and exit.

• Check orientation of directional arrows on chassis
before driving. The direction of drive and steer may be
opposite from normal operation based upon orienta­tion of chassis.

SECTION 2. MACHINE PREPARATION AND INSPECTION

2.1 GENERAL

This section provides the necessary information needed
by those personnel that are responsible to place the
machine in operation readiness, and lists checks that are
performed prior to use of the machine. It is important that
the information contained in this section be read and
understood before any attempt is made to operate the
machine. Ensure that all the necessary inspections have
been completed successfully before placing the machine
into service. These procedures will aid in obtaining maxi­mum service life and safe operation.

SINCE THE MACHINE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CON­TROL OVER THE FIELD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE,
SAFETY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/OPERATOR.

2.2 PREPARATION FOR USE

Before a new machine is put into operation it must be
carefully inspected for any evidence of damage resulting
from shipment and inspected periodically thereafter as
outlined in the Delivery and Frequent Inspection. The unit
should be thoroughly checked for hydraulic leaks during
initial start-up and run. A check of all components should
be made to assure their security.

All preparations necessary to place the machine in opera­tion readiness status are the responsibility of manage­ment personnel. Preparation requires good common
sense, (i.e. lift works smoothly and brakes operate prop­erly) coupled with a series of visual inspections. The man­datory requirements are given in the Daily Walk Around
Inspection.

It should be assured that the items appearing in the Deliv­ery and Periodic Inspection and Functional Check are
complied with prior to putting the machine into service.

The following checklist provides a systematic inspection
to assist in detecting defective, damaged, or improperly
installed parts. The checklist denotes the items to be
inspected and conditions to examine. Frequent inspection
shall be performed monthly or more often when required
by environment, severity, and frequency of usage.

Frequent inspection shall be performed every 3 months or
150 hours whichever comes first, or more often when
required by environment, severity, and frequency of
usage.

Inspection requiring daily lubrication, refer to the Lubrica­tion Chart for specific requirements.

2.5 DAILY FUNCTIONAL CHECK

Perform functional checks in accordance with the Daily
Functional Check before attempting to operate the
machine.

TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE UNTIL ALL
MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNC­TIONING MACHINE IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.

A functional check of all systems should be performed,
under no load, once the walk-around inspection is com­plete, in an area free of overhead and ground level
obstructions. Perform pre-load functional check in accor­dance with the following procedure:

1. Ensure batteries are fully charged.

2.4 DAILY WALK-AROUND INSPECTION

It is the users responsibility to inspect the machine before
the start of each workday. It is recommended that each
user inspect the machine before operation, even if the
machine has already been put into service under another
user. This Daily Walk-Around Inspection, Figure 2-2, is the
preferred method of inspection.

In addition to the Daily Walk-Around Inspection, be sure to
include the following as part of the daily inspection:

Overall Cleanliness

Check all standing surfaces for oil, fuel and hydraulic oil
spillage and foreign objects. Ensure overall cleanliness.

Placards

Keep all information and operating placards clean and
unobstructed. Cover when spray painting or shot blasting
to protect legibility.

Operators and Safety Manual

Ensure a copy of this manual is enclosed in the manual
storage box.

2. Raise and lower platform several times. Check for
smooth elevation and lowering. Check for High
Drive cut-out as platform begins to raise. Check that
pothole protection system is deployed when plat­form is raised and that actuating rollers are in con­tact with the connecting bar.

2-2 – JLG Sizzor – 3120761

SECTION 2 - MACHINE PREPARATION AND INSPECTION

3. Drive forward and reverse, check for proper opera­tion.

4. Check that drive brake holds when machine is
driven up a hill, not to exceed rated gradeability, and
stopped.

NOTE: For units equipped with optional tilt cutout, verify that

drive and lift functions are cutout when the platform
is elevated and the tilt alarm is activated.

5. Steer left and right. Check for proper operation.

6. Check fluid level on hydraulic oil reservoir. Refer to
the Lubrication Chart.

2.6 TORQUE REQUIREMENTS

The Torque Chart consists of standard torque values
based on bolt diameter and grade, also specifying dry
and wet torque values in accordance with recommended
shop practices. This chart is provided as an aid to the
operator in the event he/she notices a condition that
requires prompt attention during the walk-around inspec­tion or during operation until the proper service personnel
can be notified. The Service and Maintenance Manual
provides specific torque values and periodic maintenance
procedures with a listing of individual components. Utiliz­ing this Torque Chart in conjunction with the preventive
maintenance procedures in the Service and Maintenance
Manual will enhance safety, reliability and performance of
the machine.

2.7 BATTERY CHARGING

At the end of the work day, the batteries should be
charged for the next days work. Position the Emergency
Stop switch to OFF. Prior to charging, be sure electrolyte
covers plates. Connect the battery charger to a properly
grounded receptacle using a suitable extension cord. Set
the battery charger timer switch, if equipped, for the
desired charging time. After charging, check the electro­lyte level of the batteries and adjust accordingly. Add dis­tilled water only to batteries. A fully charged battery will
have a specific gravity of between 1.260 - 1.275 on a
hydrometer.

WHEN ADDING DISTILLED WATER TO THE BATTERIES, A NON­METALLIC CONTAINER AND/OR FUNNEL MUST BE USED. ADD
WATER ONLY TO LEVEL INDICATOR OR 3/8 INCH (0.95 CM)
ABOVE SEPARATORS.

NO OPEN FLAMES OR SMOKING WHEN CHARGING BATTERIES.

CHARGE BATTERIES ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.

ENSURE THAT BATTERY ACID DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT
WITH SKIN OR CLOTHING.

NOTE: Be sure to disconnect and store any extension cords

after charging batteries and before putting machine
into service.
